Several years back when I was Bus driving the local BHS store decided to use a busy bus stop as an easy evening alternative to the rear loading bay, during the run up to Christmas.
After several evenings of complaints, including several from the company, I got fed up with it. So on arriving at the stop, where the bus was due a driver change over, I parked the bus on top of his tail lift & walked off, with the keys to find the other driver.
I then reported the bus as defective & told the new driver to take a different bus, It took 2 hours for the fitters to remove it & that was only after the police had been involved for one hour.
It seems they had problems finding the keys.
I did get spoken to by the police, but only to be told I really shouldn’t have done it, but that it deserved BHS right that I had.
I don’t really need to upset anyone. When I need things to get moving I just goes into the office and tell them that if I’m not out of there in an hour I will have to park the lorry up for the next 11 hours as I will be out of legal driving hours. Now it’s not many costumers who’re interrested in having a big artic sitting in their yard for 11 hours so it always seems to work wonders. Everybody is happy, they’re releaved they got me out of there and I didn’t have to waste 3 hours sitting in a waiting bay.

sees the lad, gives him my ticket and starts blowing the load off.
bit too much information there…lol 
I always remember a few years ago going to Tesco in Milton Keynes, got tipped within an hour but then was sat on the bay for about 2 hours waiting for load to be “Checked”, When I went in to goods in to get paperwork and keys (yep, you had to hand them in) was told it would be another 2 hours as they were short of checkers, this got a few 4 letter responses from me, and they tried to keep hold of the keys, needless to say I “persuaded” the pillock to give me my keys back and then drove out, they were fuming. I learned an important lesson that night - don’t ever give your keys into goods in orifices.

Reading all these reminds me of a guy I used to know in Harwich by the name of Roscoe. Brilliant mechanic, but had to go back on the road after some bleep bleep and assorted dot dash nicked his van with about £50,000 worth of tools in it. The insurance wouldn’t pay up, so he came out with us lot. At one tip there was a REAL jobsworth. One minute before or one minute after, and he’d turn you away for a rebook. Nice guy. He wouldn’t let you in through the gate. “OK” says Roscoe, and drove through the gatehouse! Neat. The fact that “jobsworth” was sitting in it was neither here nor there…! 
Unfortunately, Roscoe was killed by a Kamikazie in Turkey 2 weeks later. They still haven’t found the body of the thief who stole his truck…
